Last Day of School! WOO HOO!

I never know who is more excited for the last day of school, the kids or the teachers. It has been an abnormally tough school year: broken foot, Phillip's sinus/adenoids surgery, Losing Grandma and Uncle Jimmy, and the "incident". Despite all these things, as I reflect back over the school year, I think about how far my kiddos came in 180 days. It is truly amazing to watch them grow. I love them so much and even on the tough days they know just what to do. (Hug, smile, or even just sitting quietly). I often worry about these little ones during the summer. I pray they are fed and safe in their homes. One of my students, who is Autistic, came up and bear hugged me before he left with his Mom. I was shocked and it brought tears to my eyes. He rarely wants to be touched, let alone hugged and he initiated the hug...HE HUGGED ME! As God moves me through life he so often keeps things in perspective. The last student I saw in the 2007-2008 was my hugger. Pastor Kris spoke of building relationships and finding true joy this Sunday, if this is the last student I see, talk about true joy provided by God!

Happy Day!Sheila

P.S. Chris has all his crops in the ground as of 9:30 pm. That always make for a happier home! hehehehe

I am so glad that your school year ended on a HAPPY note, after all you went through this year! Now, I envy you, getting the summer "off", so to speak. ENJOY!!! You earned and deserve it!Glad to hear all the crops are out, too!

Thank you for sharing that story! How precious! I just love hearing things like that! Being a mom of two with special needs, it is just awesome to watch how much kids with these needs KNOW what is going on around them... I'm so glad that God gave you that moment!

About Us

Our family continues to be blessed by God's grace daily. Sometimes we have to step back and believe, but we always see Him working in us!
We are living our dream. Phillip is 8 and Hattie will soon be 4. Chris and I have been happily married for 10 years. We have an 80 acre farm and lots of animals to fill the space. Chris works at the Wayne Co. Highway Dept. and I work for Richmond Community Schools as a principal.
Phillip is a second grader at Western Wayne Elementary and Hattie loves going to preschool with Ms. Tonya. Phillip loves baseball, basketball, and 4-H. Hattie loves baby dolls and following her bubbie.
We are attending Christ Jesus Community Church and are growing up in God daily. Our lives have been blessed by the friends we met at Farmland Friends. Which led us to find a church that provides instruction with fellowship. We have searched for a place our children can be involved in a church youth group. The Pastor at our new church, Fuzzy, was my youth pastor growing up.
We hope you enjoy reading and catching up with us through this blog.
